Is they're another way to root the HTC Glacier besides Visionary? Without a computer? Visionary won't root (I gave it about 45 minutes). Thank-you.

I'm a noobe and don't understand those postings at all (what is ”eng bootloader”?). The only thing I see about VISIONary is ”does not work on 2.3.4”. But all forums say Visionary works for this phone.
P.S: I thought maybe try to move visionary to the root of my card but I can't find sd card root using Astro.
Sorry for the noobe questions. I just really want to root this thing (I would like just temp root for now). Thank-you very much
You cannot root your Glacier if you are on gingerbread (2.3.4). You have to downgrade to 2.2. There are instructions on how to do this in the glacier forums. When you are downgraded, visionary alone can only give you temp root. You must use the root.sh method or the gfree method to achieve permroot.

I can't find how to downgrade to 2.2 in the Glacier forum. And I don't have a computer. Please advise. Thank-you.

No, there is not. The current root method requires a downgrade RUU to obtain root. I recommend you head over to Developer section and use the root method posted by jcase.
OK thanks geuss I'll keep messing with adb to see if I can get it to work right

As far as I understand, to root a Gingerbread version, you gotta use Gingerbreak.

No offense, but you haven't looked hard at all. Everything you need to know is stickied at the top of the Q&A thread. There's also a link the my sig.
OK well let me ask this then. . . What is the best way for me to do it. Is there any "oneclick"methods that would be really good for me to use?

The only method I'd ever recommend that is like a one click method is the Revolution method, but the drawback to that is undoing the S-Off is harder than the old jcase method. I can't recommend any "one click" based of the jcase method because there's too many floating around out there and unless you know the exploits being used, they're unreliable. The Revolution method is the current preferred method, and can be undone. It's preferred because it wipes not data and all you need to do after using it is to flash SuperUser and a recovery of your choice. I believe those can be found in the wiki unrEVOked maintains, as well as other places.
With the revolution method is it easy to boot in recovery and flash different roms or do you have to go through the whole rooting method everything? Thanks for your help by the way.

It's just as easy as anything else once you have clockworkmod flashed. Replacing the ROM doesn't remove S-Off or erase your recovery. I also like to point out that Revolution doesn't really root a device, it merely turns S-off so that you can root and flash a custom recovery. But once S-Off is done, the rest is as easy as flashing a couple files. Once you're to that point, you can wipe and flash ROMs all day. If you need some help or a walk through on some of this, PM me.
Just rooted my Thunderbolt after the Gingerbread update using Revolution method. Happy to say I am rooted with S-off. Have the latest recovery downloaded with my current Rom backed up. Next move is to download a custom Rom. I waited for this update for what reason I don't know to root my Thunderbolt.
What Rom to choose? There are so many. This is the fun part.

I don't know why. But I have tried over and over. I have used HTC Super Root tool... it says I gained root...I open root checker app...says I have not gained root...the tool did install superuser.
I factory reset....
I try rooting with superoneclick. It says I gained root. It installed super user. I go open root checker...it tells me I don't have root...
Please anyone help me. I can't gain root and I don't know why... I need help asap...
Thanks in advance...
